Explanation
Background: This ordinance authorizes the Director of the Recreation and Parks Department to enter into contract with Greenscapes Landscape Company, Inc. for the Street Tree Installation - Spring 2024 Project. The contract amount is $323,675.00 and a contingency of $5,000.00 for a total of $328,675.00 being authorized by this ordinance.
This project consists of installing 901 trees in numerous Columbus neighborhoods and in all Forestry Planning Areas. The tree plantings will help replace tree species that have been removed throughout the City due to tree mortality. The project will also plant new trees in areas that previously did not have trees. The new tree plantings will represent a diverse species of trees selected specifically for each planting location. It takes into consideration the specific site restrictions that each location has in an effort to replace some of our lost Urban Tree Canopy and reduce storm water run-off in the area while not interfering with nearby utilities or structures.
